The day I went to the cinema to watch Alice in Wonderland, I had a terrible earache that ruined the movie for me. Since that day I hated the movie, (I was very little), the story was like a nightmare where poor Alice was lost and came across weird friends that wouldn´t help. When Sara invited me to be on Alice Sewing Series I thought it was time to revisit the book and have fun with it. So what does Alice wear that I can incorporate in my girls wardrobe? A blue girly dress with a full skirt, a white apron, mary janes and stripy thights!!

She would totally wear this outfit! The peplum is the femenine and cute touch to an otherwise unisex tee. I added a contrast white collar to resemble Alicia´s peter pan collar dress, and redrafted the sleeves to add fullness. For the collar band, as I sew knits on my regular sewing machine, I investigated a novelty finish that has been in shops for a while. I left the top border raw!! Let´s see how long it takes me to hide it.

Sewing the leggings has no mistery other than matching the stripes, which it´s sloooooow in a knit because it shaffles all the time (I sew knits without fancy gadgets, not even a walking foot). The apron is a simple crossover top to which I added a heart pocket.
